EATON’S  PATENT 

DELUGE  BOILER  WASHING  MACHINE 

Consists  of 

BOILER  ADAPTED  TO  FIT  ANY  STOVE, 

With  a Cylinder  covered  with  corrugated  bars,  and  Buckets  fitted 
within  the  Boiler,  in  which  are  placed  the  clothes,  and  operated  by  a 
crank  passing  throngh  the  side  of  the  Boiler,  and  connecting  with  the 
Cylinder,  as  shown  in  the  cut. 

Although  the  Machine  is  perfectly  simple,  it 

Is  constructed  in  strict  accordance  with  Scientific 
principles, 

And  its  great  efficiency  consists  in  the  perfect  adaptation  of  the  me- 
chanism to  fully  develop  and  apply  said  principle  in  connection  with 
certain  conditions  of  heat,  steam,  &c.,as  per  directions  sent  with  ev- 
ery machine. 

THE  ADVANTAGES  OF  THIS  MACHIME 

Over  all  others  consists  in  a more  perfect  combination  of  all  the  ele- 
ments necessary  ffhd  essential  in  a perfect  Washer. 

If  the  conditions  are  complied  with  the  results  will  be  the  same,  and 

The  Machine  trill  surely  ilo  its  work. 

The  first  impression  of  the  Machine  is  good  and  different  from 
most  others,  and  the  general  coincidence  of  testimony  in  all  cases 
where  it  has  had  a fair  trial  is  remarkable. 

As  it  saves  labor,  health,  time,  and  money,  and  is  especially  de- 
signed and  adapted  to  help  woman’s  work,  it  surely  merits  the  most 
generous  patronage,  and  cannot  fail  to  retnrn  to  the  public  at  large  a 
full  equivalent.  • 

Circulars  will  be  sent  on  application,  containing  testimonials,  refer- 
ences and  ether  information  desirable,  respecting  the  machine. 

Ageuts  wanted  to  sell  Machines  or  Territory. 


@SSN  presenting  tliis  .Machine  to  the  public, .we  feel  per- 
j fectly  confident  that  the  just  expectations  of  every 

. purchaser  will  be  fully  realized. 

We  have  carefully  tested  it,  and  actual  experience  has 
demonstrated  in  different  parts  of  the  country  wherever  it 
[ has  been  properly  used,  thus  far  without  exception,  that  it  is 
in  all  respects,  what  it  is  claimed  to  be — 

Tfv'  best  Washing  Machine  ever  Invented.

particular,  and  sell  them  at  uniform  prices  consistent  with 
a fair  profit  on  the  investment.

Testimonials. 

As  this  Machine  has  been  in  operation  but  a short  time 
in  the  New  England  States,  we  present  a few  testimonials 
from  those  who  have  had  a full  opportunity  of  testing  its 
merits : 

At  the  Annual  Exhibition  of  the  Kansas  State  Agricul- 
tural Society,  at  Fort  Scott,  1870,  ii  took  the  First  Premium 
for  best  Washing  Machine,  as  shown  by  certificate  in  our 
possession. 

[The  following  is  from  the  County  Clerk  of  Chenango  Co..  N.  Y.] 
Mr.  Wm.  Eaton  : 

Dear  Sir — Your  Deluge  Washer  was  taken  on  trial 
and  but  little  expected  from  it,  as  the  experience  of  my 
family  with  washing  machines  has  not  been  a profitable 
one.  It  required  but  little  use,  however,  to  convince  all 
that  it  would  do  all  promised  for  it,  and  it  was  duly  in- 
stalled and  still  remains  a permanent  institution  of  the 
household.  I am  authorized  by  “ the  power  that  is,”  to  give 
it  her  unqualified  recommendation. 

Yours  truly, 

Jas.  G.  Thompson.

It  takes  the  lead. 

This  Machine  has,  wherever  it  has  been  introduced, taken 
the  lead  of  all  others,  and  is  beyond  question  the  greatest 
labor-saving  Washing  Machine  yet  invented. 


Havin';  used  Eaton’s  Washing  Machine  in  our  family  the 
past  winter,  we  do  not  hesitate  to  commend  it  to  those 
who  want  a labor-saving  machine  in  the  family.  We  have 
used  various  kinds  for  the  last  thirty  years,  and  this  the  last 
is  pronounced  the  best. 

/lx  military  advantages  are  not  to  be  overlooked. 

Dispensing  with  the  hard  labor  ot  rubbing  (as  it  does  in 
good  degree,)  over  a steaming  washtub,  it  will  remove  one 
great  cause  of  voids  and  serious  lung  complaints  to  w/uch  fe- 
males are  svlyfeb 

A large  number  of  machines  are  in  use  in  this  neighbor- 
hood, and  as  far  as  I am  informed,  give  universal  satisfac- 
tion. T.  S.  Gold.

Samukl  Scovii.i.e,  Esq. 

Dear  . Sir : — We  have  not  been  very  long  in  the  use  of 
the  Washing  Machine  which  you  sent  us,  but  have  tried  it 
long  enough  to  be  well  satisfied  that  it  is  an  article  of  very 
great  value  in  housekeeping.  The  celerity  and  thorough- 
ness with  which  it  performs  what  in  housekeeping  experi- 
ence has  been  deemed  the  most  tedious  drudgery  of  the 
week,  will,  1 am  quite  sure,  recommend  it  to  general  use. — 
One  of  our  neighbors,  who  is  a lad}'  of  great  skill  and  expe- 
rience in  housekeeping,  gives  the  same  verdict  of  approval. 
Yours  truly, 

C.  F.  Sedgwick. 


Two  Points  of  Excellence. 

Most  people  understand  that  the  action  of  alkalies  are  in- 
jurious to  all  cotton  or  woolen  fabrics.  As  this  machine 
needs  very  much  less  soap  than  any  other  process,  a more 
important  saving  is  effected  than  people  who  have  not  tak- 
en the  matter  into  consideration  are  aware  of. 

As  Eaton’s  Machine  is  perfectly  easy  to  operate  and  takes 
but  little  time,  with  the  steam  mostly  confined  to  the  boiler, 
the  objections  against  any  other  process  are  to  a very  great 
extent  obviated  by  its  use,  and  it  is  just  as  truly  a health- 
saving as  it  is  a labor-saving  machine. 

Machines  Warranted. 

Any  Machine  purchased  without  trial  will  be  warranted 
fully  to  meet  its  recommendations  or  it  can  be  returned  at 
our  expense  and  the  money  promptly  returned. 


Wells  Bros. 

Having  given  Wm.  Eaton’s  Patent  Washing  Machine 
a thorough  trial,  we  are  much  pleased  with  it,  and  can  say 
that  it  more  than  answers  our  expectations — performing  all 
that  is  claimed  for  it.  It  does  its  work  easily,  quickly  and 
well,  requiring  about  one-half  the  soap  and  fuel  of  other 
machines  and  subjecting  the  article  washed  to  the  least  pos- 
sible wear  and  tear.  As  a labor-saving,  economical  ma- 
chine, simple  in  its  operation  and  not  liable  to  get  out  of  or- 
der, we  think  it  eminently  adapted  to  meet  the  great  want 
of  housekeepers  and  can  heartily  recommend  it  to  all  who 
desire  to  make  washing  easy.

I have  given  Eaton’s  Patent  Washing  Machine  a trial 
and  am  much  pleased  with  it.  It  is  a great  saving  of  labor; 
it  saves  time;  it  saves  one-half  the  soap  and  fuel,  and  does 
its  work  well — subjecting  the  articles  washed  to  the  least 
possible  wear  and  tear.  As  washing  is  quite  a specialty 
with  me,  I have  had  opportunity  to  give  the  machine  a fair 
trial,  and  am  fully  satisfied  of  its  merits,  and  can  cheerful- 
ly recommend  it  to  all  who  desire  to  save  labor  and  lime, 
and  make  washing  comparatively  easy.

[From  it.  W.  Franklin.  Superintendent  11.  R.  R.] 

We  are  much  pleased  with  the  Eaton  Washing  Machine, 
and  I must  confess  this  is  the  only  one  I ever  saw  and  liked 
and  consider  it  worth  any  thing.

’ New  Milford,  April  5th,  1871. 

Messrs.  Wells  Bros, 

Gents : — In  response  to  your  enquiry  as  to  the  result 
of  oitr  experience  with  your  Deluge  Washing  Machine,  I 
must  say  that  after  several  weeks’  trial  we  are  very  well  sat- 
isfied v ith  it.  When  your  agents  left  it,  requesting  that  we 
should  give  it  a trial  and  keep  it  or  not  as  we  pleased,  I did 
not  have  the  least  idea  that  weshould  keep  it,  as  we  already 
had  one  machine  and  had  tried  others  and  found  most  of 
! them  unmitigated  humbugs,  so  far  as  saving  labor  was  con- 
cerned. 

■|  But  the  first  trial  of  yours  convinced  us  that  we  had  got 
hold  of  something  of  an  entirely  different  character,  and  it. 
has  steadily  grown  in  favor  with  us. 

It  chief  merits  are  its  great  economy  of  time,  fuel  and 
soap  A washing  can  be  done  with  it  in  about  half  the 
tune  required  by  any  other  machine,  and  the  washing  and 
boiling  being  done  both  at  the  same  time  and  so  much  less 
water  being  used  that  nearly  or  quite  one-half  of  the  fuel 
usually  consumed  is  saved.  It  also  saves  nearly  one  half  of 
the  soap.  We  find  it  so  easily  operated  that  a child  ten 
years  of  age  Can  use  it. 

And  last  but  by  no  means  least,  it  does  its  work  in  the 
most  perfect  manner,  which  we  can  say  of  no  other  machine 
with  which  we  are  acquainted.  It  seems  to  be  so  exactly 
suited  to  the  Wants  of  every  family  that  it  must  supersede 
cveiy  (Mbor  ivtacldne  wherever  it  is  introduced.

I haVelhis  day  examined  carefully  Eaton’s  Washer  with 
particular  reference  to  its  merits  in  a sanitary  point  of  view. 
Apart  from  the  sax  ing  of  time  and  labor,  the  Tact  that  our 
women  who  use  it  are  not  exposed  to  the  reeking  steam, 
which  by  opening  the  pores,  lays  the  foundation  for  the 
numerous  colds  and  more  serious  lung  diseases,  so  many  of 
them  ate  subject  to,  proves  it  doubly  a health-saving  ma- 
chine as  well  as  a convenience.  It.  seems  also  to  be  con- 
structed on  purely  scientific  principles.

[Doncon  E.  D.  Pratt  says:] 

We  have  given  Eaton’s  Patent  Washing  Machine  a tiior- ! 
ougli  trial,  and  must  say  that  it  more  than  meets  our  ex  per 
tations,  performing  all  that  was  claimed  for  it.  In  fact,  we 
think  we  cannot  wash  Without  it.  We  most  cheerfully  re- 
commend it  to  all  housekeepers. 

Yours  truly,  E.  D,  Pratt, 

West  Cornwall,  April,  1871, 

So  for  as -I  have  tried  the  Eaton  Washer,  I like  it,  and 
think  it  decidedly  the  best  machine  I have  ever  used.

Mr.  Samuel  Scoville. 

Dear  Sir : — The  Eaton  Washer  that  I bought  of  you 
eight  months  ago  and  use  in  my  family,  fully  answers  the 
recommend  that  you  gave  it,  and  has  already  saved  us  the 
cost  of  the  Machine. 

J.  P.  Brewster. 

West  Cornwall,  April  10, 1871. 


In  a Sanitary  point  of  view 

Eaton’s  Machine  is  entitled  to  careful  consideration.  Wash- 
ing with  any  rubbing  machine  or  by  hand,  requires  hard, 
active  exertion  over  an  open  tub  or  machine,  exposed  for  a 
long  time,  and  breathing  the  steam  of  heated  alkalies,  open- 
ing the  pores,  and  reducing  the  system,  renders  the  person 
very  susceptible  to  colds,  resulting  in  ill  health  to  a greater 
or  less  extent — especially  in  lung  complaint  and  difficulties 
of  - that  nature. 

Eaton’s  Machine  requires  very  little  labor  or  time, and  the 
steam  is  mostly  confined  to  the  boiler,  obviating  to  a very 
great  degree  the  objection  to  all  other  machines,  and  is  as 
truly  and  to  the  same  or  greater  extent  a health-saving  as  it 
is  a labor-saving  machine. 

How  to  get  I OO  per  centr  for  your  Money. 

Invest  it  in  Wm.  Eaton’s  Deluge  Boiler  Washing  Ma- 
chine for  the  use  of  your  family. 


Deacon  R.  R.  Pratt  sends  the  following: 

I hereby  certrfy  that  I have  used  in  my  family  different 
kinds  of  washing  machines,  but  have  not  had  one  that  has 
proved  satisfactory  until  we  tried  Eaton’s  Patent  W usher. 
I find  this  to  be  what  is  claimed  for  it. 

It  saves  in  labor,  it  saves  in  time,  it  saves  in  soap,  it  saves 
in  wear  and  tear  of  clothes,  it  saves  in  fuel,  and  I can  cheer- 
fully recommend  it  to  all  who  want  an  article  of  the  kind, 
and  who  may  know  how  to  use  it  when  they  get  it. 

Russell  R.  Pkatt. 

Cornwall,  April  11,  1871. 

We  are  using  Wm.  Eaton’s  Patent  Wheel  Washing  Ma- 
chine and  it  is  the  first  of  the  many  patents  that  we  have 
used  that  was  worth  anything.  It  fully  meets  our  expec- 
tations, and  performs  all  that  it  is  recommended  to  do.  We 
think  it  is  one  of  the  most  important  inventions  of  the  age 
for  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  designed. 

Nathan  Hart. 

West  Cornwall,  April  7, 1871. 

Messrs.  Wells  Bros. 

Gents  : I have  tried  the  Eaton  Patent  Washing  Machine 
and  am  fully  satisfied  that  it  is  all  that  is  claimed  for  it.  It 
is  a labor-saving  machine.  I consider  it  as  much  assistance 
to  me  as  my  husband’s  mowing  machine  is  to  him,  and 
most  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  any  one  desiring  a good 
washing  machine.  * Mrs.  Theo.  Judson. 

Woodbury,  Ct.,  April  4, 1871. 


An  Important  Fact. 

It  has  been  said  that  the  invention  of  Eaton’s  Washer  is 
one  of  the  most  important  of  modern  limes,  and  when  its 
effects  are  taken  into  consideration,  viz  : changing  52  hard 
unpleasant  days  in  each  year  into  easy,  pleasant,  cheerful 
ones,  we  must  come  to  the  same  conclusion. 

Woman’s  Rights. 

We  go  for  woman’s  rights  practically.  Give  them  all  one 
of  Eaton’s  Washing  Machines. 


[Rev.  Thos.  Harronn,  Presiding  Elder  of  the  Methodist  Church,  says:] 

My  family  have  been  using  Mr.  William  Eaton’s  Deluge 
Washing  Machine  for  the  last  three  or  four  months.  We 
I think  there  is  nothing  equal  to  it.  It  is  a perfect  success. 
| We  are  every  way  satisfied  with  it.  I could  most  cheerful- 
ly recommend  it  to  any  family,  not  only  in  doing  its  work 
well,  but  it  saves  time,  strength  and  health.  Too  much  in 
its  favor  could  not  well  be  said.  It  is  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant of  modern  improvements.

[Rev.  Samuel  Scoville,  son-in-law  of  Rev.  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  says  :] 

During  the  past  ten  years  I have  had  in  my  family  seve- 
ral washing  machines,  gave  them  all  a trial,  and  then  threw 
them  aside,  and  not  until  I found  the  Washer  ot  the  Eaton 
Patent  did  I find  anything  that  satisfied.  It  lias  been  used 
six  months  in  my  family  and  gives  perfect  satisfaction. 

Sam’l  Scoville. 

I fully  concur  in  the  above  statement. 

Dr.  H.  R.  Bellows. 

The  Leroy  Gazette,  Leroy,  Genessee  Co..  N.  Y.,  Starch  23d,  says  of 
Mr.  Eaton’s  Washer:] 

Wonders  in  the  domestic  labor-saving  department  will 
! never-cease,  and  the  charm  of  this  age  is  now  invented  and 
in  full  operation.  We  have  tried  it,  and  our  neighbors  have 
tried  it,  pronouncing  Eaton’s  Deluge  Washing  Boiler  a 
marvel.  It  is  in  all  its  arrangements  the  most  perfect  Wash- 
. ing  Machine  we  have  ever  seen.  A child  can  handle  it 
with  ease;  and  whether  boy  or  girl,  manor  woman,  they 
can  do  the  washing  faster  than  the  mistress  or  maid  can 
rinse  and  wring.  This  wonderful  machine  washes,  boils 
j and  bleaches  the  clothes  in  the  space  of  ten  minutes.  - 


A Perfect  Machine. 

Eaton’s  Machine  possesses  all  the  elements  of  a first-class 
article.  It  is  cheap,  durable,  efficient,  economical,  simple, 
| aorrectin  principle,  equally  so  in  mechanism,  designed,  in- 
vented and  adapted  to  meet  what  has  been  and  is  consider- 
, ed  the  great  want  of  every  household.  Every  new  trial  de- 
monstrates that  it  is  every  way  a success.

G 6 ul.s ; — Having  thoroughly  tested  Eaton’s  Washing 
Machine,  I do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  it  docs  the  work  full 
as  well  as  represented  by  the  agent  who  left  it  with  me.

Washington,  April  14,  1871. 

Messrs.  Wells  Bros. 

Gents: — We  have  given  your  Eaton  Patent  Washer 
la  thorough  trial.  My  wife  thinks  it  is  a great  labor-saving 
1 machine.  We  can  do  our  washing  easier  and  cheaper  than 
by  any  washerwoman  we  ever  had.  It  takes  less  soap  and 
water  than  any  other  machine  or  the  old  washboard.  Any 
child  8 or  10  years  old  can  easily  operate  it.  We  do  our 
washing  in  less  than  half  the  time  and  much  easier,  with 
less  wear  on  clothes  than  by  any  other  machine  we  have 
ever  tried.  It  does  its  work  in  the  best,  manner,  and  any 
one  that  will  give  ita  fair  intelligent  trial  cannot  help  liking 
it.  No  family  should  be  without  one,  as  it  is  the  greatest 
i labor-saving  and  health-saving  as  well  as  economical  ma- 
chine we  have  ever  seen,  and  ranks  first  among  modern  im- 
provements of  this  kind  known.

Proof. 

We  offer  one  of  Eaton’s  Washers  without  charge  to  any 
one  who  will  point  out  any  defect  in  the  Principle,  Process 
or  Mechanism  peculiar  to  this  machine,  and  which  gives  it 
its  efficiency  and  power  over  any  other  machine  yet  in- 
j vented. 

In-ease  of  operation,  in  effectiveness,  in  simplicity  and 
probable  durability  it  is  far  superior  to  any  oilier  washer 
yet  invented,  is  our  unqualified  opinion  and  that  it  is  abun- 
dantly able  to  stand  on  its  own  bottom , a fair  trial  will  cer- 
tainly demonstrate. 

The  best  proof  that  can  possibly  be  given  of  the  quality 
of  any  machine  is  the  fact  that  those  who  commence  using 
them  continue  to  do  so,  which  is  the  case  with  Eaton’s 
Washer,  even  to  the  first  put  in  operation. 


From  Dr.  Jaincp  nine. 

Having  witnessed  the  operation  of  the  Eaton  Washer,  I 
am  convinced  that  those  who  use  this  Machine  will  find  the 
I ordinary  injurious  effects  of  washing  upon  health  greatly  di- 
j minished  by  the  amount  of  labor  saved  and  the  direction 
J given  to  effort,  James  linns. 

New  Milford,  April  17th,  1871. 

I We  are  using  Wm.  Eaton’s  Deluge  Washer  and  think  the 
benefits  resulting  from  its  use  for  the  purpose  for  which  it 
is  intended,  fully  equal  to  the  best  sewing  machine,  and  we 
do  not  now  think  we  can  do  without  one,  and  should  not  if 
they  cost  twice  what  they  are  now  sold  for. 

Edmund  Hart. 

Cream  Hill,  West  Cornwall,  April  17,  1871. 

We  find  in  the  use  of  the  Eaton  Deluge  Boiler  Washing 
Machine  that  there  is  an  enormous  saving  of  first,  Strength, 
second,  Time,  third,  Labor , and  fourth,  J/oney — in  that  it 
forces  out  the  dirt  1)\'  the  steam,  in  place  of  destroying  the 
fabric  by  rubbing.  We  had,  years  ago,  set  aside  all  wash- 
ing machines  as  unfit  for  woman  to  use,  but  in  the  intro- 
duction of  the  new  principles  combined  in  the  Eaton  Ala- 
j chine,  we  have  the  long  wished  for  article.  Deprive  us  of 
the  purchase  of  another,  and  this  is  not  for  sale  at  any  price. : 
We  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all.  But  to  those  who  make 
washing  a business,  we  would  say,  do  not  fail  to  try  it. 

As  an  investment  in  a machine,  it  is  the  cheapest  that  has 
ever  been  brought  before  the  public,  because  of  its  durabil- 
ity and  actual  merit.  I can  sewno  reason  .why,  with  proper 
care,  one  will  not  last  twenty  years. 

Very  respectfully, 

Your  most  obedient, 

Wm.  S.  Baldwin. 

New  Milford,  Conn.,  April  15, 1871. 


A Peculiar  Feature 

Of  this  Machine  and  one  that  gives  it  great  value  comprises 
four  open  Buckets  in  the  Cylinder  that  raise  and  pour  20  to 
30  gallons  of  boiling  water  per  minute  over  the  articles 
washed,  while  they  are  constantly  moving  in  the  cylinder. 

B^"In  all  cases  where  the  machine  has  had  a fair  trial,  il 
has  performed  all  that  has  been  promised  for  it,  and  always 
| will. 


Messrs.  Wells  Bros. 

Gents: — Wc  have  given  your  Eaton  Washer  a trial. 
Wo  think  it  very  efficient  in  cleaning  or  getting  the  dirt  out 
of  clothes — the  machine  properly  used  in  this  respect,  is  far 
superior  to  any  we  have  ever  tried. 

It  is  in  a high  degree  a labor-saving  machine.  It  saves 
very  much  in  the  wear  and  tear  on  clothes.  A machine  that 
will  do  what  it  has  done  for  us  entitles  it  to  rank  first  among 
washing  machines,  if  it  does  not  supersede  all  others.

Gents  : — Eaton’s  Deluge  Boiler  left  with  11s  has  been 
thoroughly  tried  by  Mrs.  Gunn,  and  she  pronounces  it  an 
excellent  machine. 

A boy  of  eight  years  can  do  the  washing  of  a family  with 
the  eye  of  an  experienced  washerwoman  to  direct  the  oper- 
ations. Happy  are  they  who  have  such  a simple  and  effi- 
cient helper.  E.  W.  Gunn.

To  Parties  desiring  Territory. 

To  all  persons  desiring  to  buy  territory  for  Eaton’s  Wash- 
ing Machine  in  Fairfield,  New  Haven,  Middlesex  and  Tol- 
land Counties  in  this  Slate,  or  in  any  other  of  the  New 
England  States,  we  offer  good  facilities  for  investigation, 
and  all  the  information  necessary,  with  Patterns,  Fixtures, 
Ac.,  to  enter  at  once  into  a profitable  and  safe  business  at  a 
small  outlay.  With  the  evidence  in  our  possession  of  the 
great  combination  of  good  points  in  this  machine  and  the 
practical  tests  of  it  all  resulting  in  its  favor — with  its  rapid 
sale  wherever  it  has  been  offered  to  the  public,  taking  the 
precedence  of  all  other  machines,  it  can  hardly  fail  to  satis- 
fy any  one  that  it  must  supersede  all  other  washing  ma- 
chines ever  yet  invented  or  likely  to  be  for  a long  time  to 
come.  The  great  want  of  the  age  has  been  just  such  a ma- 
chine as  Mr.  Eaton’s  great  combination  of  all  the  essential 
elements  of  washing  and  can  hardly  fail  to  be  brought  into 
general  use  wherever  known.

PATENT  RAR-FA M E D 


Patented  August  0, 1870. 


With  this  machine  the  entire  washing  of  a family  of  eight 
or  ten  persons  can  be  done  in  about  one-half  the  lime  re- 
quired by  other  machines,  and  can  be  operated  with  ease 
by  a child  ten  or  twelve  years  old. 

By  an  arrangement  inside  the  Cylinder,  we  elevate  thirty 
gallons  of  water  per  minute,  which  is  poured  on  the  clothes 
while  they  are  being  agitated  and  exposed  to  the  scalding 
steam.  By  t his  process  it  will  readily  be  seen  that  the  goods 
are  being 

Washed,  Boiled  and  Bleached  at  the  same  time. 

GOODS  WASHED  BY  THIS  MACHINE  REQUIRE 
NO  RUBBING. 

It  is  acknowledged  by  all  who  have  tried  it  that  the  gyods 
are  whiter  and  eleaner  than  when  washed  by  hand. 

The  Machine  is  light  and  easily  handled. 

The  cylinder  is  so  constructed  that  it  is  removed  by  mere- 
ly lifting  from  the  boiler.  The  boiler  can  then  be  used  for 
other  purposes.  This  machine  has  been  thoroughly  tested 
by  the  best  housekeepers,  hired  girls  and  washerwomen, 
and  they  universally  pronounce  it 

All  that  could  be  desired  in  a Washing  Machine. 

This  machine  has  been  tested  by  the  side  of  the  Kidney, 
Brooks  and  Slater  Wheel  Machines,  and  raises  by  the  buck- 
ets (which  gives  this  machine  its  power  over  all  others  yet 
invented,)  ten  gallons  of  water  to  one  gallon  by  either  of 
the  other  machines,  and  is  universally  acknowledged  to  be 
far  superior  to  either.
